August, from the flavannah, - stating that a pretty large fleet was fitting out at that port, and rumour assigned its destination to be Vera Cruz. Private letters from Madrid, state that the King of SPAIN has despatched letters to several Bishops of the Kingdom, assuring them, that it is not his inten tion to make any changes in the laws and institutions of the Country. -We should, indeed, be surprised if FEEDINA ND were to attempt any reform, as every act of his Government denotes a determination ; to endea vour to maintain that syStem of ignorance and super stition, upon which alone the arbitrary power of his throne is founded. His MAJESTY is likely to give another. example of this determination, if the reports mentioned in the Quotidienne, can be relied on. It is stated that the Spanish Ministry are ,preparing to send into Portugal, a body of 8,000 Royalist Volun teers, chosen fiom among those Volunteers who are not married, and have no fixed residence in the cities. The men composing this redoubtable corps, are to receive five reals, abOut 2s. ld. sterling, per diem each, durin g the time they, are absent on this service,: and their deeds will, we have no doubt, be worthy of the cause in which they'are to be engaged. One Portu giie;e, battalion, eon:menthol by British Officers, would put the whole 8,000 of these myrmidons to the route. We received this morning, the Nuremburgh Cor respondent of the 28th ultimo. It states under the head of Berlin, that in the event of the conferences at Akermann being finally broken off, that the Russian army could not commence offensive operations for six months to come, in Moldavia and Wallachia, qn account:of the impoverished state of these Provinces, in consequence of t he long continued dry weather; and as the rainy season was on the point of setting in, the roads would be rendered quite impassable : BERLIN, SEPT, 22. However positive the reports are concerning the pro bable, issue of the conferences at Akermann, and much as it is therefore to, be apprehended that the Emperor Nicholas, notwithstanding his wish to preserve peace, may be at length obliged to adopt some serious measures, in order to bind the obstinacy and arrogance of the Mussul men, it may yet be reasonably doubted, considering how far the season is advanced, whether these measures are likely to be carried into execution this year. Persons who are well acquainted with these countries affirm, that the' occupation of Moldavia and . Wallachia by Rus- 84 11 troops, which might be expected as the first ilinnediate, consequence of the breaking' off of \ the negociations, is wholly impracticable at this moment; because, especially in. the first of these Principali ties, there is at this time an absolute scarcity of water, and very shortly, when the rainy season sets in, the roads become quite impracticable, and therefore no convoys of Protiisions and forage can be sent after the troops, which, however would be absolutely , indispensable for an army at all considerable,, because,. since the late troubles, the Turkish occupation (agriculture) has been greatly neg lected in both the Principalities • and, in addition to this, the extraordinary heat of the last summer has burnt up the meadows, so that the necessary forage could not be had on any terms. This being the state of things; it may be calculated that, even in the most unfavourable issue of the conferences, a delay of six months would be necessary, which European diplomacy would probably turn to ac count, to prevent a formal breach between Russia and the Porte. Frankfort Papers of the 29th ult. have also been received. They state that even the loyal inhabitants of St. Petersburgh, were disappointed at the « killing frost," which had so suddenly nipped the Emperor's mercy in the bud, and caused him to abridge the sen tence on the conspirators of eternal banishment to Siberia, by allowing all those who could survive their deoni, the enviable -privilege of returning to die in Russia. What generosity ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 16. It Wes expected, that on the occasion of his Majesty's Coronation the. punishments to which the individuals im plicated in the' conspiracy were sentenced, would expe rience some mitigation, this, hope has been disappointed. [he Emperor addressed to the Senate, on the 3d of Sep tember, an ukase, which reduces to twenty years the pe nalty of ba r d l a b our , in the cases of those who were con demned f o r life, acid the terms to which others a re sen t en_c i ed in t h e following proportions, viz.:-- 10 15 instead of 20, 10 instead of 15, 8 instead of 12, tistmstead of 10, 5 inst e ad o f 8, 3 i n stead of 5, and l' in stead of of 2 ; they will be immediately sent to Siberia. " conspirators condemned to banishment to Siberia for Indefinite period are to remain there only 20 years. WEIMAR, SEPT. 19. vierle`e of hedaybefore yesterday the bust. of. Schiller, a master the Dannecker's, was placed with great solemnity in which Grand Du ca l Lib rary . Thi s Me, the preparations for had long since been made, was deferred till the _ lv ° of M.

Von Muller. The Country Gentlemen of limas, and some of the adjoining Western. Counties, have shown that if they are not open to reason, they are at least influenced by the warning voice of experience. Their discomfiture at Andover, on the recent meeting for passing peso_ lutions relative to the maintenance of the Corn Laws, has alarmed all the host of Squires ; and the meetings which were contemplated in many of the 'large market towns, and actually convened in some, have been post• polled sine die. Wisdom is taught by experience, and we really congratulate the Country Gentlemen, that the result of the first meeting has produced an effect upon them which may avert borne of the odium which would have universally attached to the landed Proprietors, had they persevered in their intention of attempting to pass Resolutions contrary to the pre nailing feeling of the community at large. Their very tenants begin to be satisfied that their interests will be best promoted by the admission of the corn under certain limitations. MI these circumstances give rise to a confident expectation that the ground will be cleared for the immediate discussion of this most important question on' the meeting of Parliament, and that those laws, which since their passing have occasioned more agita- tion in the minds of the people, and more fluctuation in 'the prices of the necessaries of life, and of property generally, than all the other Acts in the Statute Book, will be repealed, and substituted by enactments on this vital question congenial with the feelings and best interests of the country, and consistent with that rational and enlightened policy which the Ministry of Great Britain have acted upon in other branches of our commercial transactions. • We copy from the Times the following letter, which, (if its statement can be relied on) shews the necessity of persons being on their guard with respect to the tricks likely to be played them in the purchase or sale of French Stock. We understand that the Committee of the Stock Exchange, with the honourable zeal which they show on all occasions, for the maintenance of correct conduct amongst the Members of their House, have taken up the matter, and will institute an enquiry into it : (From a Correspondent.) The following statement is calculated to put upon their, guard against fraud, all those who may have transactions to effect in the foreign funds, Observing in Wetenhall's list of Tuesday, that the price of French. stock in London was quoted at 97f., end hav ing been told that the price in the market on that day had never been under 98f., I took the trouble to inquire as to the fact of two very respectable gentlemen, with whom I have the honour to be acquainted, and who are large deal ers in French stock; when they told me,. that they had themselves always been anxious to buy at 98f. on that day, and that, suspicious of some trick in the quotation of 97f., they had been at the pains to ask an explanation of Mr. Wetenhall, when they found that a broker, who transacts a good deal of business with and for a certain great capi talist, had been to his (Mr. Wetenhall's) office after 4 o'clock on Tuesday, to desire that this price (97f.) should be marked. Mr. Wetenhall replied, that it was too late to mark such a price as the list had gone to press, when the broker went himself to the printer's, and stopped the press for the pur pose of having the price quoted. Now, Sir, it is well known that the said great capitalist allows a commission to all brokers who deal with him, and the inference to be drawn from this, coupled with the above circumstance, is, that the broker having some French stock to sell for an unlucky principal, sold it to the said great capitalist at one per cent. under the price which he might have obtained for it in the market, for the sake of the com mission allowed, thus sacrificing his principal's interest to his 'own. It would be well, therefore, to advise all who are obliged to employ brokers for the sale or purchase of French stock, to give such brokers a hint of their know ledge of the practice in question, and to request 'that their business be transacted in the open market, where they are much more likely to obtain a fair price than with an indi vidual who pays a commission to their broker. Thursday, Oct. 5. EXPOSITOR. We think it proper to notice the continuance of the Stade-duty (Stador-toll) on goods per British ships, trad ing to Hamburg)), whilst this impost is no longer payable on vessels under the Hamburgh flag. This duty is, we understand, of Hanoverian origin, and we are rather sur prised that any preference against the shipping interests of this country should come from that quarter, after the libe ral system which has been adopted towards foreign ship ping. We trust the proper authorities will notice this cir cumstance, and protect the British ship-owner in this case. In fact, the practice has come to this, that the brokers on 'Change make the freedom from the above duty a ground of recosmuendation to the merchants, why they should prefer forwarding their goodi by a tbreign vessel. This is acting upon the reciprocity system with a vengeance. The El Cometa Mereantel, from Carthgena de Colom bia, of the 3d of August, contains an important document, being the public acts of the four Municipalities of the City of Barcelona, Piritu, Pelar, and Province of Margarita ; they denounce the conduct of General Paez, in Valencia, as rebellious, and stigmatise him as a traitor. Letters have been received this morning from the City of Mexico, of the 2d of August, stating that the convoy had not set off with the specie at that date. Extract of a letter from Hull, dated Oct. 4.—Mr. Lucking, the Agent here for the Patriotic Assurance Company, has received orders to decline taking Marine Insurances for the present. The Only remaining Agency here is the South Devon Company. We•undeiitand, with the exception of Liverpool, that the above determination applies to all the OutpOrts, and that the amount taken by this Company, is limited to 2,000!. on each risk in London. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Cloch. Consols opened this morning at 80 1 1 for the account, there were afterwards buyers at Sof; but retrograded to S 0 for money, 80 foe October account, and 801 for November; the business effected this morning and yesterday has been extensive, and the alarm caused by the report, of a deficiency in the Revenue,, and the fun entertained by the unfavourable prospect in the manufacturing dis tricts, as the season advances, seems to have a tendency to keep down the price of the British Funds. In the Foreign Funds nothing of importanve ham occurred; Mexican Bonds are 614 ; Cplombian, 54, 5; Chillan keep up to their old price, 37181, wltich appears rather extraordinary in the present state of the Bonds.

PERPETUAL Movwx.--The Italian Doctor of Laws, who came here for the purpose of making known his discovery of the perpe tual motion, waited upon the Lord Mayor. A gentleman connected with the Society of Friends to Fo reigners in distress, stated that he had enquired into the nature of the discovery, and it appeared ta- him to be something towards perpetual motion. The unfortunate gentleman was referred to Mr. Aikin, the se cretary of the Society for the promotion of Arts and Manufac hirers, as the best person to determine on the merits of his discovery.

Previous to the 20th of September he went to nome . Worship street police-officers, and stated he wished to give information against a person employed in colouring counterfeit coin. He was taken.liy the officers to Mr. Powell, the Mint Solicitor; subsequently he deposed before a Magi strate at G uild hall, that Francis Coleman, in a back-room on the first floor in a house in St. Giles's (giving the number and street), was in the act of colouring the counterfeit coin; that be had been doing so, and that there was some of it in that room at the time of making the deposition. A warrant was taken out to search the house, when the officers accompanied the prisoner to the house; in a few days afterwards they were told by him that Coleman had removed to another place where he was at the same act. Another warrant was taken out to search that place, gut no such person was to be found there. The officers then began to sus pect that the prisoner had been deceiving them throughout, and on going to the house in St. Giles's, they found that the house described in the information, had no such back-room; that no such person had lodged there, and that the occupier of it had rented it for the last 20 years respectably.—Retnandeci till Thursday. MARLBORO 170 STR EET—( Tarts DAT.) DARING ROBIIRRY,--IGfOrMakin was this morning received of a moat daring robbery.

Mr. Dear, after some search, discovered his horse and cart in the green-yard this morning. It cost him 16s. for its release. He has been unable to discover the thief. MARYLEBONE.--(This DAY.) A young woman, accompanied by her mistress, stated to Mr. GRMITHS, that yesterday her mistress desired her to go to Mr. Cook's, a baker, for some bread, and gave her at the same time a piece of money, which, without looking at it, she - put into her mouth, thinking that it was a shilling. She immediately went into the baker's shop, got aispence worth of bread, laid the piece upon the cows-tor, and received change.— She then went to her mistress and produced the bread, and the sixpence ; upon which her mistress, with surprise, said she had given her a sovereign, and desired her to go immediately hack to Mr. Cook, and explain the matter to him. She accordingly went back, but Mr. Cook would not listen to. her. She there fore begged of his Worship to order Cook to pay her. The mistress corroborated her statement, and gave her an excel lent character for honesty. Cook's servant appeared, and said there were two sovereigns on the counter at the time, and that he was rut .1 the complainant had only given a shilling. Mr. GRIFFITH ordered Cook immediately to restore the sove reign, or otherwise that he would hear mere about the matter.— The parties then left the office. WORSHIP-STHEET—(Tara Dsr.) Ann J.

Information was given in the course of Sunday, and on Monday morning, the prisoner was detected in offering a lathe for pledge, at the shop of Mrs. Williams, Turnmill-street. The bowie had been entered at the back, and marks of foot-steps were visible in the garden-mould, which exactly corresponded with the shoes worn by the prisoner on his apprehension. The lathe was identified by Mr. Jones,. as being part of the property lost on Sunday night,---Committed. Was.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. This amusing Summer Theatre dosed last night, after, we believe, a very successful season, and not undeservedly so, when we consider that to the spirited and tasteful management of its proprietor (Mr. Arnold), the public is indebted for Winter's Grand Opera of the Oracle, as well as the entertainment derived from Matthews' Comic. powers. At the end of the Farce, Mr. Bartley, in the character of Sir William Reer, delivered a farewell Ad dress,. which was very good-humouredly received by a crowded house. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL THURSDAY, OCT. 5. Saint Philip's Church was this morning crowded at the early hour of ten o'clock ; hundreds were sent back from the doors, yet the nave, the galleries, the stair-case, and indeed every part—however inconvenient for sight or sound—were thronged even to suffocation. The great object of attraction was the " Messiah," which, though far from a novelty to English ears, is yet the most popular oratorio ever composed. Mr. Brahmin opened the morm ing's performances with the recitative, " Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people ;" and if yesterday we spoke rather .slightingly of one or two of his most ambitious attempts, we can on this occasion afford him unqualified Praise. Per• haps it may be with/singing (though comparatively a me ehanical experiment), us it is with genius in other departs: 'ments of mind, namely, that it is restless, uncertain, and full of inequalities; if so, Mr. .Braham stands proudly ac quitted of undue negligence on the one day, or of unex pected excellence on the other. The chorus which fol lowed his air, " And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed," was soleMnly appropriate, terminating in a full swell of majestic harmony, that, to adopt the striking language of Milton, was enough to "create a soul under the ribs of. death." Mr. Bellamy sung " Thus saith the Lord of hosts," very creditably, but the.part should have been assigned to Brehm. Mr. Phillips, in the spirited , recitative, "For behold darkness shall cover the earth," threw an air of grandeur into his voice, more particularly when be pronounced the word " darkness," exactly eon formable to the spirit of Handers conception. Indeed, with the exception of Brehm in one or two of his choiceit bravuras, Mr. Phillips is the most dramatic vocalist We have--the ve—tte Kean of song! " There were shepherds abid ing in the fields," was assigned to Miss Stephens, - while Miss Paton warbled "Rejoice greatly, oh daughter of Zion!" in a manner that thrilled to the hearts of all who heard her. Perhaps we might object to the rather bois. , terms manner in which she gave the word " shout," ap plied to the daughter of Jerusalem ; but we are in no humour to find fault, especially with the recollectiaa of such delight yet lincernig vividly in our minds. Miss Travis sting " Then shall the eyes of the blind be opeu ed," in a quiet impressive manner, with a subdued feeling of exultation—if we may apply such a term to her style and manner Of execution—that would have been perfect, had she not marred it .n little by the husky indistinctness of her tone towards the close. he se, ot)? d a with the well-known chorus ‘tie,„ At tempted the touching air "He was despised and rejected of men e' we say attempted, beeause none but a mind! of the very keenest sensibility can do justice to the strain, which conveys as strong an idea of afflicted Deity ag the human mind can conceive. Miss Travis executed "He was cut off," with the requisite tenderness, as also thesucceed ing air " But thou didst not leave his soul in hell," which, however, appeared a failure, Mr. *Om, in the noble recitative " He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn," gave unutterable energy to the word " laugh :" th e effect was e lectrical --- instantaneous--and shows th e mag i c of the .human voice, .when heightened and directed by judgment, taste, and sensibility, The Oratorio was closed by that puniest of all choruses " Hallelu;ah ti !for the Lord God Omnipotent reigned'," which wea i giVett With a noble burst of melody, that rolled like a peal of distant thunder through the church , t ill gallery , nave, and aisle seem e d li terally bursting with the e c volume of soun d . Th - " Ki ng of kings, and lord of lords," sang by thy whole a ssembled orchestra, put the seal to this s enchant merit; and long after-the last eel4o , t.

'sobered; Na ture resumed her usual away ; the Visitors, g 'rtettp b y group; departed; and the church was once NNW fi g " ' as the dead that slumbered beneath it, BAZAAR. Tuesday last beitig the day fixed for opening a bazaar in Manchester, the pro eeds of which are destined to pm vide clothing for thet of the destitute poor, preparations were made for that purpaxe in the great room of the Town Hell; which, though in an unfinished state, was furnished and decorated in as handsome a manner as a due regard to the interests of the charity would permit. A number of flags were suspended from the lower part of its noble dolme, and the walls were ornamented in a similar manner w 0 well-arranged drapery and festoons of artificial flowers. , Tie articles for sale having been arranged on Monday morning, in the afternoon the room was opened for view only. Its appearance on this occasion was extremely irate- renting, the tables being covered with an astonishing va riety of needle and pencil work, from the plainest article of a baby's wardrobe, to the most elegant ornaments of a faahionable chimney-piece. Many of the latter exhibited a correctness of taste, and a delicacy of execution, that re flected great credit Litton the fair artists that produced them. Indeed the articles generally were highly honourable to the female talent of Manchester; and we were often tempted on looking at them, to wish that the author of " Hints for the Holydays," in Blackwood, who has chosen to be so satirical on female artists, had been present on this . occasion. We 7;11 venture to say, he would either have retracted his opinion, or have declared the ladies of Man chester an exception to its general application. Tuesday morning had an unpropitious appearanee, and at. one time threatened not only to diminish the pleasures of the day, but which was of more consequence, to di- Minish the proceeds of the bazaar. Towards the hour• of assembling, however, which was ten o'clock, the clouds cleared 011, and the remainder of the day was almost as favourable as could be wished. . From the time at which the doors were opened for the; admission of visitors until dusk, the room was literally crowded, and at some periods to excess. The company included nearly the whole re spectability of the town and neighbourhood, among whom we particularly distinguished the Countess of Wilton, T. 4. Trafford, Esq. and family, George Philips, Esq. M. P. and family, T. Houldsworth, Esq. M.P., W. Halton, Esq. and Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn, of Eccles ; and gallantry compels us to acltrtowledge that we never. saw so brilliant a display of female beauty, on any former occasion in Man chester. The tables, which consisted of forty stands, extended nearly the whole length of the room in a double row. Each stand was attended by four or five ladies, who discharged the duties of their respective departments, in a manner highly honourable to their zeal in the cause of the charity. To give these ladies their full ineed of praise it ought to be recorded that they had . to endure the fatigue of attending their stands i r upwards of nine hours in a heated and crowded room. So liberal had been the amount of contributions, that it was found impossible to dispose of the whole of them on Tuesday ; the _bazaar was accordingly opened again yes terday morning, and in the course of the day the remainder of the articles was sold. The very great interest excited on this occasion is proved by the number of Visitors at the Town-hall, who, on Tuesday, amounted to 634.0 per sons !I This estimate is made from the sum received at the door at ls. each. We now come to the most pleasing part of our duty, that of recording the result of these charitable labours. And we are sure that the admiration of ourTreaders will only be equalled by their satisfaction, when they are informed that the total proceeds amount to 1740!., of which the sum of 310/. was taken at the doors; the remainder is the produce of the sale. If such a result surpass the expectations of the most sanguine promoters of this benevolent scheme, the more justly are the amiable contributors to it entitled to our applause; but we know not in what terms, short of what may be called adulation, to do justice to the good taste, good feeling, and good humour, with which the cause of charity was promoted on this oc casion by the ladies of Manchester. But they will re ceive for their labours a higher reward than our praise can confer ; and to the satisfaction derivable from the re flection that they have contributed to the performance of a good work, will be added the blessings of those " who were ready to perish." Our readers will find, in the first page, an advertise ment from the Ladies' Committee, in which they express their acknowledgments to our municipal officera„,atui other local authorities; to the commanding officers of th e 2d Dragoon Guards and Grenadier Guards, and to othergen denten from whom they derived assistance and support. We ought, perhaps, to have mentioned sooner how much the two fine bands of the above regiments contributed to the gaiety and cheerfulness of the Bazaar.—Manchester Herald of Thursday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL's; OCT. There was nothing done here to-day, the betAlng kitten beiug still at Newmarket. The state of betting, as tersiessd Isom that place, and inserted by us yesterday, auppuris the prediction that the Wyndham horses would be first in tj ae h e t t i ug . The Elfred colt is now first favourite at rather 144 than 20 to 1, which odds will doubtless be materially lescited when the Newmarket Meet ings are concluded. Prom The running of the Duke of Gration's horses of late,it can lit:ay be expected that they will rank high in the odds. NEWNIARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. THURSDAY, (cm. 6.
